I'm finally going down instead of up. I just have to keep doing what I'm supposed to be doing, keep up with the exercise a watch what I eat. My goal right now is to get down to 165. After I get there I'll work on getting a bit farther down to a ... Read more

Been busy taking care of my renter due to cataract surgery. Haven't been doing the exercise or counting the calories like I should be doing. Not getting out and doing the line dancing as often because they've cut back on how many times a week we... Read more

Will be great to get outside and do things again. Need to wait until the ground gets a little bit firmer. We are now having rain so hopefully no flooding. This has been a crazy winter and hard to get outside to do anything. I am heading in the r... Read more

I'm getting really tired of the snow, ice and cold. Makes joints hurt and harder for me to do the things I need to do for weight loss. Seems I'm going in the wrong direction weight wise again. Will have to work harder and find indoor things I ca... Read more

I've been enjoying myself so much with the kayaking, line dancing, quilting and just relaxing that I didn't even realize I was toning up and even losing a bit weekly. I haven't had this much summertime fun since I lost my hubby. I'm glad I met t... Read more

My line dance teacher invited me to go kayaking with her Sunday night. I agreed to go. This was my first time kayaking and I learned a lot in just a short time, including a lot about myself. We went out on a local lake, winds were blowing and he... Read more

I'm still on that one. I lose a lb, then gain a lb. At least I'm still below 200 and that works for me. I'll keep working on it and keep losing a little here and a little there. Perhaps by next summer I'll get to my ideal weight. I know when I g... Read more

I've made it past my first goal. That one was to get my weight below 200. I've gotten there finally. Now for the next goal, my ideal weight. I know if I keep watching what I eat, keep up the line dance (good cardio) then I'll eventually make it.... Read more

I notice I lose a lb or 2 then it stays at that point for awhile. I'm hoping it's because of the line dancing and other excercise that I do that causes that. Since I started the line dancing I've lost 4 lbs so I know I need to keep doing the dan... Read more

I am losing inches and now some weight. I'm doing the line dances at least 5 days a week. I also have a DVD for zumba basics which I may try. It shows the moves then you spend time on them. My thoughts are to do one move at a time and learn it w... Read more

Between line dancing and chair aerobics I'm seeing a little difference. I haven't lost the weight, but I did see a difference in my measurements, or at least the waiste measurements. I'll keep working at it and eventually will see the difference... Read more

I've started line dancing. I'm hoping that along with my walking this will help with the weight loss. Even if it doesn't it's still fun and something I'll continue doing. Harder for me to walk during the cold months but I get as much in as I can... Read more

In the last week I actually lost that lb. I'm hoping to keep doing that each week. Will take me awhile to get to I want to be weight wise, but in the end it will be worth it. I need to find alternative methods of working out. The walks are great... Read more

The good news is I'm not getting any bigger, the bad news I'm not getting any smaller either. My weight seems to be bouncing around right now, within 2 lbs up and down. I'm really not getting heavier, just staying about the same actually.

Right now I seem to be in limbo with my weight going up and down by 1 or 2 points weekly. With the heat wave we had this month I didn't get as much speed walking as I do when it's cooler. I still walked, just at a much slower pace which doesn't ... Read more
